You have to explain 8 other victims to just to make your one theory work. When all it would take for the witch is to say that 9th victim died at the specified time in Kyrie's group. it doesn't work.

But that wasn't said. So, it does work.Due to your sin, a great many humans on this island die.
That doesn't even limit victims to the duration of the game.
I'm not saying it's probable but it could work.

The fact that it is improbable and that you have to do 9 times the work to prove it is a losing battle. It's just not true sorry.

It's not a losing battle because you can't disprove it. It is a status quo. You think the answer is going to be the most probable answer? That would be no fun writing, now would it? Matter of fact, it would be no fun reading.

Again your doing 9 times the work your opponent has to. You have to prove 8 corpses died before the specified time when there have been no hints such a thing was possible. And your opponent can just deny the basis immediately. Otherwise you have conjure up 8 different names for the other corpses and then you end up with victims in negative numbers. It just doesn't work sorry. There are better ways to go about it. You can keep making this claim, but I won't take you seriously if you do.

Sorry for such an abrupt change, but I came across something interesting while watching a friend read EP2:

When Beatrice talks to Shannon in the beginning of EP2 (when she makes the bruise on her hand) and offers her the deal, Beatrice herself never mentions George's name. Instead, she uses vague terms such as "your loved one" or the "one you love." This is rather odd, reading that part a second time; Beatrice does not seem to mention the obvious choice for Shannon's loved one. Is this another hint for Shannon falling in love with Battler, that is brought up in EP3?

The thing that bothers me is the narration, though; while the witch doesn't use any names, the narration does. Is the narration to be trusted when it uses George's name? If Shannon is the narrator for that part, then she could possibly just be in denial.

It could be simply because Beatrice didn't want Shannon to have the impression that that kind of magic was meant for her alone. Beatrice probably expected Shannon to talk about that magic to Kanon as well.

Isn't this a trivial matter?

Since when a red that states that "Erika did this" or "Erika did that" worried you?
Kanon was the first to die?
Where's the problem? You just need to read it as "Shannon was the first to die among the five in Kyrie's group" "Shannon was the 9th victim".

Does the fact that Erika Furudo is a real person that quite obviously died before the start of the game worries you?
Why should I worry about the fact that Kanon was a real person that died before the start of the game?

Sorry to interrupt, but I'm replaying the first few games in preparation for the imminent release of the Ep6 translation, and, well...

I can't reconcile Beatrice's early twisted, malicious behavior with her portrayal from Ep4 onward. I've never been able to just consider it 'acting', given that she goes on and on about the poison of boredom and the curse of immortality, etc, the same stuff that Bern rants about in Ep5.

So I've been wondering... exactly what did Beatrice do to earn our sympathy and forget about all the horrible things she did back in the early games? Her actions can't be entirely explained by 'acting' or 'they're just pieces', since she also tortures Battler for an unspecified period of time in the Meta-World between Ep2 and 3, and seems to derive great enjoyment from it... and then there's what she does for Rosa...

What did she do in the last three games that's suddenly made everything she'd done 'okay'? Why does learning about her tragic past suddenly make her a good person who doesn't enjoy doling out eternal torture?

I know I've brought this up before, and it sounds horribly paranoid, but what if she's still trolling Battler, even now?

Actually, I would only have to say 9 people died. Then the witch would either let my theory stick or deny it. I don't have to list names.
You really should be less serious, then you would be where I am at. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying I am lying about my previous statements but this isn't something I actually believe.

Why? that's one of the reasons that brought me to the author theory. Would you think that I'm a heartless bastard if I'd tell you that I wrote a story where a lot of people die in many horrible ways?

Beatrice never really did any of those terrible things. She's been saying all along: it's fantasy!

Who gave her any sympathy? I am rooting on Bern. Battler is just spineless.

I did not even consider her action in episode 3 trolling, for me it was just "ffff I was to weak if I can't turn it around it'll end up bad" like she was bond by a contract or something like that (Lambdadelta!) the fast imagemood change when she tells Battler the 'truth' is supporting the idea that her thoughts are at least not one-way regarding this issue.

After all eps, I feel like her cruel self was an act to begin with. (failenglish, sry)

Thats not how i see it. Since Magic Basically equals Lies, I think the real reason Beato wants Battler to accept her is cuz the truth woulda been too painful for him. I think its more battlers fault personally. Why? Well aside from red that basically says it is, he insists hes NOT going to lose To Beato. So she has to murder his family repeatedly (I think it even says its been repeating for more games than the first 4) til he either submits to her and thus "everyone lives happily in the Golden Land" or deny her and find out whos really behind it (which apparently he did but failed at proving it).

That's not what I mean. I'm not talking about her killing Battler's family over and over again (that never happened to begin with) I'm talking about her actions in the Meta-World.

Even if she's 'acting' for 'Battler's sake'... that doesn't make murdering him repeatedly alright, does it?

That's ANOTHER thing that strikes me as just... off.

Her conversations with the other witches in Ep1 and 2 suggest that she's a famous and well-known witch, not much less powerful than Bern or Lambda, and certainly not subordinate to either of them... and then Ep3 comes along and suddenly she's been Lambda's servant the whole time.

This just makes no sense to me.

That's the key, and that's the thing that makes Beatrice such a compelling character. She behaves in such a heartless fashion, but then you realize "Wait, if Battler is right, then she's NOT the culprit. So why is she taking the blame? Why is she making herself look so horrible?"
